Columbus is up against the salary cap.... Same embarrassing situation that the fellow losing teams the Oilers and Flames are in.

They have to sign RFA Seth Jones who can point to Hamilton's contract as a starting point.

Columbus is not going to take back any salary for the #3 pick. JP would will be an ELC player for them.

Also what are so many people worried about Backlund getting so much as a UFA? He need to get at least a 60 pt season to get big money..... If he does that the Flames are likely in the Playoffs the next 2 years.

Not many 40 pt forwards get even as much as 4.3M --- Frolik is the only one that comes to mind.
